I dont know how anyone else feels but I want the AI to be upset with me and tell me via the Diplomacy Screen. I also want to be able to voice my complaints/insults/anger back at the AI. Now whether this does anything is not the point. I want to be able to simply tell him things like.... "I SEE YOU BUILT a Culture Center in our space" .. i am not happy...
I would also like the AI relationship to degrade while a culture base is 'encroaching' in their space, or a flat negative to relations based on where the base is built.
For example if I am pushing out my borders and building a culture base inside my own borders there should be a negative but not much. However if I plop a culture base or several next to the Iridium home planet, this should both anger and upset them. Perhaps a flat neg penalty AND an ongoing neg penalty till either we go to war or the base is dismantled or destroyed.
ONCE the base is gone or re-purposed (if possible), the penalties should be removed and relations possibly reset to neutral.
Previously, in GC II there was no relation penalty that kept me from plopping Cutlure bases everywhere.
Thanks for hearing me ramble
